I have a makefile (part to the texx2 distribution) that issues an error
message for both gnu make 1.48 and 1.54, but works fine with /bin/make
(on a sun 386i).  The pruned makefile (2 lines) is:

        DEFINES = -DDEFAULT_TFM_PATH=\".:$(TEXFONTS)\"
test:

It seems to think that the : is a rule, not part of a define.

Any ideas?
